Balaam’s Fourth Prophecy
“The utterance of Balaam the son of Beor,
And the utterance of the man whose eyes are opened;
And has the knowledge of the Most High,
Who sees the vision of the Almighty,
Who falls down, with eyes wide open:
I behold Him, but not near;
bA Star shall come out of Jacob;
cA Scepter shall rise out of Israel,
And1 batter the brow of Moab,
And destroy all the sons of1 tumult.
Seir also, his enemies, shall be a possession,
While Israel does1 valiantly.
And destroy the remains of the city.”
“Amalek was first among the nations,
But shall be last until he perishes.”
“Firm is your dwelling place,
And your nest is set in the rock;
How long until Asshur carries you away captive?”
And they shall afflict Asshur and afflict bEber,
And so shall1 Amalek, until he perishes.”
| << Numbers 24:15 | Numbers 24:17 >> |
